Steel used in the Wharf 1414 model
The knife uses CPM S45VN stainless steel. It is popular in knife production because of its good compromise between price and quality. It achieves a hardness in the range of 56-59 HRC, which provides high resistance to cutting edge wear. It is also characterized by low susceptibility to cracking and chipping.
